What did I do to my van today well Monday actually and wasn't me a work colleague. Parked the van up not in my usual place and hoped into the works jeep and headed off and half hour later get a call to come back as a work buddy reversed into my van with a trailer. He got away lightly with only a bumper and no scratch anywhere else. So 840 euro the repair bill for work will be. ImageImageImage

Finally got the genuine vw rear ops system talking with the rns315 headunit.
The install was not the easiest but the coding side wasn't exactly a walk in the park either, oh well not done anything electrical like this on a car. I think I'll stick to the industrial electrical systems I normally do Image

Well done 👍

Worth all the effort though as a very nice feature to have.

60mm lowering springs buddy. Had a chat with my mate who I'm helping and he recommended to replace all the shocks. Said it was pointless putting new springs and hardware on old 9 year old shocks so spent a bit more money than I anticipated, haho.

Ah, OK.
The Bilstein fronts are just shocks, no springs.
Makes sense now you tell me

Carpeted the rear plastic sections.

Wasn't overly hard, just the other side to do too.

Hey Petrev

Did it come plug and play or did you solder it on?
